History OF Frances Most Fertile and
Picturesque Province
Ancient Normandy occupied the
northwest part of France, bounded
north and west by the waters of the
English channel. II received the name
of Normandy in the tenth century from
the Mortimer who had occupied the
country. Charles the Simple, King of
France, in912 sanctioned their co inquest
OF the province, and gave their chief,
Rollo, the title of the Duke of Nor
mandy. The new duchy soon came to
be one Of the most prosperous prov
inces Of France. IL was level, fertile
country producing grain, flax and fruit
in abundance, and an excellent breed
of horses, and with number OF bays
and rivers abounding in fish. These
characteristics It still possesses, and it
Is to-day as it was eight hundred years
ago, one Of the garden spots of France
Tho beautiful garden was often laid
waste, however, by the struggles of
rival countries to possess 1t. The son
of Robert the Devil, the sixth successor
from the first Duke Rollo, became ia
1866 the conqueror and first Norman
King of England On his death. En-
gland and Normandy were separated,
Williams s eldest son Robert taking tho
latter country, and his second son,
William Rufus, the former. Henry l..
the next King of England, ruled over
both countries, but his daughter Matil-
da, was only Duchess Of Normandy.
Henry IL united the two again, and
the union lasted tin the time Of King
John. who was forced 10 forfeit Nor
mandy to trance. ItwaB twice held
again by the English, first under Ed
ward III. and again under Henry v.
and vi. Charles VII, OF France,
finally rescued the province. and from
his time it has been an integral part
Of France. The title OF Duke OF Nor
mandy has since been occasionally
used, but the province was divided ip
1890 into five departments, and j. now
separately known only by tho names Of
those departments. - Toledo Blade.

SCISSOR of fine lot OH one of the lead

his property for $4,000 cash. lle
was given a check for that amount,
which was carried in due time TO one

"What! You don't want $4,000

"Jesso, sall."
"AlI right" answered the man who
shufiles the bank bills, and in five
minutes he began piing the money
on the counter. AS he laid the $50(
packages on the counter the negro''
eyes began TO grow larger and larger
aud finally when twenty of the pack
ages were placed before him his eyes
looked as large as new moons. Tht
negro looked intently at the stack o.
money for a mement, and then, will
broad grin on his face, said:

The working men should bear in

in favor of taxing them directly foi
the purpose of improving the naviga-
BILE rivers of the State. This policy,
If adopted, would double the SUN
paid by each citizen in the way oil
State laxes.-Louisville Times.
The Louisville Republican has not
strengthened its cause by reDrinting
Preniice's attack on Gen. Buckner
from the Louisville Journal of Sop
tember 81, 1861. Iii is a remarkable
piece of vituperation, written at the
beginning OF the war and inspired
by the bitterness that divided not on
" states but families. What Prem
tlce thought or said of Buckner In
those distracting days can have no in
fluence or bearing on the present COIL
lest.-Louisville Commercial.
The Hon, Henry Powell, of Hender-
son, is the most talked OF man In the

Mr.. Bradley and his fellow-Repub-
licans claim that there has been cor
ruption In the management of the
State Government of Kentucky. They
do not pretend TO Say who have been
the benenciaries of that corruption.
They point to no man who has got
rich by hold State Office. If they
can find such man let them unmask
him and place him upon his defense.
The truth is, there is no such person.
The affairs of the state have been
honestly administered, and Kentuc-
ky's financial condition at this time
compares favorably with that of any
State in the Union, while taxation
is lower than in any State under Re-
publican rule. These facts will be
made plain TO the people during the
next two months, aud. beforeAugust,
Mr.. Bradley will find that all the

ed will not prevent signal collapse

Bon Aqua Springs, the Saratoga
Of the South.

We are credibly informed that this
celebrated summer resort has opened
this year on June, lst to guests from
any part of the world. Bon Aqua
Springs is situated upon an elevated
Plateau nearly twelve hundred feet
above sea level. This altitude renders
the air delightfully."- pure and cool, so
inyigorating TO people and SO much
sought after by all class during the
hot months of June, July, August
and September. 1t is an acknowl-
edged asylum for all suffering from
lung diseases or debilitated from the
effects of malaria or other disorders.
The resort is situated in u beautiful
park of heavy shade trees of about
300 acres. The hotel is fine build
ing 80 by 2I0 feet, with galleries
twelve feet wide around each floor,
aud forming promenade Of nearly
two thousand feet. The ball room
and dining room are each 10 by so
feet. The CUISINE will be in charge of
celebrated Chef and the tables with
capacity of 800 at one sitting will be
furnished with every delicacy the
country affords during the season. In
addation to the hotels capacity, there
are about one hundred cottages situ-
ated in the squarein close proximity
TO the Hotel, so place can be secured
10 suit the tastes Of all classes either
public or private. One Of the impor-
tant additions recently added ia the
large bathing house arranged with
two general departments, one design
ed for Ladies only aud the other for
Gentleman.
In this building the various kinds
of mineral waters will be utilized in
the form of hot and cold bathing, un-
der the objections of two Physicians,
lady and gentleman, one for each of
the respective departments.
One Of the most important features
of this resort is the value OF the med
icinal qualities Of its mineral waters.
No less than six different kinds of
waters issue from the earth within a
few feet of each other, including
black, white and red sulphur, arsenic,
alybeate and free-stone. These
waters are unlike many other miner.
al WhbcIb anu htC III icdiity al CANOP-
ton to the general rule, for the reason
that they are cool and palatable and
Immediately become the favorite of
guests for their delicious taste. Their
Medicinal qualities are known by
thousands of people, many of whom
have been permanently cured by
drinking these waters. Another
feature we must not overlook, and
that is the facilities for music and
amusements. A full band Of brass
and string instruments will be in at
tendenco as we'll as pianos NC. For
more physical exercises there are
boating, ten pin alley, billiards aud
lawn tennis. Nothing seems to be
overlooked to make Bon Aqua Springs

sonal career. The special topics in
the present part are the attack on
Charles Summer by Preston S. Brooks,
and the bred Scott decision of March
g, 1857. These events are rapidly and
clearly sketched, and Lincoln's views
of the decision recorded in his own
words. The portraits include Sum-
ner, Brooks, Henry Wilson, Anson
Burlingame, bred Scott and and his
wife, Chief-Justice fancy, and As
sociate- Justices Mclean, Nelson, and
Curtis. This record of the circum-
stances under which the decision was
made has the advantage that one Of
the authors, Mr.. Nicolay, has been
for years the Marshal of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and thus
has had special facilities for studying
the subject.
The battle series makes compre-
hensive advance with paper by
General K. M. Law on the Virginia
campaign of 1864, entitled "From the
Wilderness to Cold llarbor," those
two engagements and the intermedi-
ate ones of Spotsylvania Court House
and the North Anna being included
in a popular record richly supple
mented with illustrations from
sketches made at the time, and with
official maps. A short article is de-
voted to the "iiand -to-iisnd Fighting
at Spotsylvania," perhaps the most
stubborn contest of the war. The
writer is Mr.. G.. Norton Galloway,
historian of the Sixth Corps. The
Century also make public for the first
time complete resume of the aggrc-
gate forces and losses of the Union
army in the Wilderness campaign.
Short supplementary "Memoranda"
are contributed by General Thomas
Jordan on "A Missing Confederate
Cipher Dispstch,' and by General Il.
e. Colston on "Union Sentiment
Among Confederate Veterans" There
is also an editorial article on "Lord
Wolseley's Estimate of General Lee"
taking note of the numerous and
Fundamental historical inaccuracies
OF General Wolseley's recent essay.
